Prac01 Guide

The document provides an outline for a machine learning practical covering environment setup using a virtual machine, an introduction to the Weka data mining software, and hands-on experience with basic SQL queries through an online execution tool. It describes downloading and using a virtual machine containing Weka, an overview of Weka's interface and functionality, and demonstrates executing simple SQL commands on a web-based SQL execution platform to interact with database tables. The practical aims to equip students with foundational skills in setting up a machine learning environment, exploring a popular machine learning software, and hands-on practice with structured query language for databases.

Environment setup
▪ General advice: Use the provided virtual machine(VM), available at bit.ly/COMP5009VM
▪ If you use lab machine, simply open the VM with VMware
▪ If you use your own laptop:
▪ Windows: download VMware Player and use it to open the VM
▪ Mac: download VirtualBox and follow the steps below:
▪ Use VirtualBox to New a VM
▪ Setup a name, type Linux, version Ubuntu-64bit
▪ Default memory
▪ Use an existing virtual hard disk, and find the .vmdk file in the downloaded
VM folder
▪ Create
▪ If you want to setup without VM, please follow the instruction given by Sonny

SQL
▪ Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard language for storing,
manipulating and retrieving data in databases.
▪ In this unit, we usually use dataset stored in text files(e.g., .csv, .arff), but
SQL would become handy when dealing with large dataset.
▪ Let’s try it out at
